Bollywood glamour descends on Resorts World Sentosa RWS and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment presents the world premiere of Housefull 2 – The Dirty Dozen
SINGAPORE, 19 March 2012 – Come 3 April, Bollywood fans in Singapore and the region will have the chance to get up close and personal with their favourite stars like Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade, Asin, Jacqueline, Zarine, Shahzaan, Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakravarty, Boman Irani, Randhir Kapoor and more at Resorts World Sentosa. The director and cast of the Bollywood romantic comedy, Housefull 2 – The Dirty Dozen will be in Singapore and Resorts World Sentosa for the world premiere of this sequel to the 2010 Bollywood hit Housefull, which broke movie box office records and was one of the top 10 grossers of the season.
Following Housefull’s success, director Sajid Khan returns with a sequel with a completely new storyline, new characters, and a glamorous star cast. Housefull 2 is bigger than its predecessor in every aspect. The movie will make its world premiere at the Festive Grand Theatre at Resorts World Sentosa on 3 April 2012, with a star-studded red carpet event and gala.
“Resorts World Sentosa has become almost synonymous with great entertainment as well as the glamour and magic of the movies. As we scout the world to bring in the best entertainment events and acts, it is also our natural synergy with movies that has led us to this latest collaboration with Bollywood.”
“With our great venues, setting and varied offerings, we are the perfect backdrop for movie shoots, and we are ready for Bollywood, or even Hollywood should they come calling,” said Ms Andrea Teo, Vice President of Entertainment, Resorts World Sentosa.
Housefull 2 tells the story of four fathers, four daughters and four prospective son-in-laws – the dirty dozen as the film’s title suggests. Each father wants his daughter to marry the richest son-in-law, while each daughter thinks she is marrying the richest son-in-law. Meanwhile, each son-in-law is pretending to be the richest son-in-law. Each character is unscrupulous in their attempt to achieve their goals, making for an extremely entertaining and colourful comedy. The good news for the audience is that none of these people can stand each other and all of them are under one roof, in one house as the first half of the title suggests – Housefull.
